Cole Petersen is from the Chicago area and moved to Brattleboro eleven years ago. They have been working at local schools for three years and specialize in working with children with various disabilities. They believe strongly in meeting children where they are at and fostering any interest in nature. Cole loves all creatures, particularly the slippery and slithery ones. When they are not working or peeking under a rotten log, they can be found anywhere with a needle and thread upcycling or embroidering their favorite slimy creature.
